Our Care Services

Every person’s care needs are unique, which is why we take time to understand not just what support each resident needs, but how they prefer to receive it. Our purpose-built home features three specialist wings, each designed to provide optimal care for different needs.

Juniper Wing

Two 15 bed suites, all with ensuite bedrooms

On-site Physiotherapy

We understand that maintaining mobility and independence is of the utmost importance for our Residents’ wellbeing. For this reason, Arlington Grove has an on-site physiotherapist, meaning that Arlington Grove’s Residents benefit from their input free-of-charge. The physiotherapist carries out an initial assessment on mobility, and subsequent mobility care plan reviews thereafter.

Our Residents can also opt to purchase an intensive Premium Physiotherapy Package to work on a targeted area. We know that starting a new service can be daunting, especially when it is focused on physical activity. If you are unsure if the Premium Physiotherapy Package is for you, you can request a free Taster Week by speaking with the Home Manager. More details on our Premium Physiotherapy Packages can be found here.

What Our Residents Say

Real Stories, Real People

We were very apprehensive placing Mum into a care home, but we have been very pleased with Waltham House. The staff are lovely, very friendly & helpful, and Mum has told me this many times. I feel she is in safe hands. I feel I can approach the staff with any concerns, and they will address them. They are great at communicating.

Daughter of Resident - Waltham House 15 May 2025

Culverhayes has provided exceptional care to my father. To sustain this level of care with the demands they are faced with at times is a credit to them. The attention to individual needs, likes and dislikes of my father means that as family we can have time away from the nursing home knowing that his needs are met. The home liaises with the family when necessary and holds regular meetings to update/discuss the future of the nursing home and events upcoming.

Daughter of Resident - Culverhayes 10 April 2025

My beloved husband has been a resident for over a year. At all times, he has received Gold Standard Care, and we, as a family, received the same respect from all the amazing caring staff at Dearbourne Manor. The team truly do understand his needs not only from a nursing perspective but from the perspective of the person who is an individual living with dementia. The atmosphere is always calm, activities are available, amazing cuisine, smiling staff, constant updates on care and excellent communication.

Wife of Resident - Dearbourne Manor 8 April 2025

My husband has been so very well treated in Oakhill. His sisters & I have always been impressed with the genuine love & care he receives here. The staff are so lovely & take care of his every need. There's nothing I can fault. Food is excellent & plentiful, with good choices to suit everyone's needs. If I ended up in here I think I would really happy to be in such a lovely environment.
